Play-Asia.com; the biggest hassle?

[Dreamcazman]

I've been dealing with Play-asia for years and never any problems, I haven't used them lately due to price mainly, can find everything I want cheaper elsewhere.

This might be just something new that they've recently implemented for security reasons.

What if you pay by Paypal, do they still want all this info?

No but you have to pay upfront for pre orders.

Pretty much anywhere else, Ozgameshop, Amazon (US & UK), Zavvi and/or The Hut, etc.

I don't tend to by much Japanese/Asian stuff anymore otherwise I'd probably buy more from PA.

I haven't had any problems with playasia. I usually only buy their weekly deals as their normal prices are bullshit.

Fact!

Zavvi had lots of problems sometime back with missing parcels. I think I have like 2 orders with 5 missing games. Took quite a while for them to refund me as well so I gave up on them.. Not sure how they are now

That's how I ended up doing it, they didn't want anything with Paypal, I wish I would of waited and made this thread first, could of saved money...

That's not phishing, they just want to check if your credit card is legit. Of course when they asked me that I said fuck it and I paid with paypal. The bad thing is that you have to pay upfront when you pre order something.
